[Desire General] naXnoemO:
Hello,

My USB connection does not work anymore since r5 MoDaCo.

I still can into recovery mode. I've already flashed the usb update.zip brick, nothing changes.

Charging goes. The SD card is recognized by the phone and I can use it too.

the site of MoDaCo is just down! :(

Has one of the same problem, or can help me?
[Desire General] Ajthescot:
i have done the same thing mate was using the usb brick thread no its down im stuck with a bricked phone
[Desire General] xdaywalkerx:
flash another rom :rolleyes:
[Desire General] scesarin:
It has to do with the USB Brick, even the SD Card is recognized...

DO you have also troubles when you connect your phone to the power adapter? I mean, when you plugin your phone into the power, does your phone delay a bit (or a lot) to start charging (the orange led doesn't light quickly..)??

If so, then it's a sympthom of USB Brick as I said..

In the thread there are steps for each case of USB Brick...

try again... the last chance is to change ROM or just re-flash the same... some time it helps..

SCesar
[Desire General] naXnoemO:
is that normal that my desire recognized the sd card, after an USB brick???
[Desire General] Ajthescot:
i cant access my phone in recovery though usb .no device found

cant use clockwork as it cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
[Desire General] Ajthescot:
thanks any way managed to fix it with usb brick thread on modaco
[Captivate General] domin8:
found this vid on youtube. you must be rooted to install set CPU, but its worth it. i'm goign to be testing my gains today since i can see big gains being made while the phone is in standby mode especially.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt3H75qnupA

what other tips do you guys have?
[Captivate General] acespaid:
can you do this with the captivate? what are the overclock speeds?
[Captivate General] Jodin:
I installed set cpu on my captivate and it has dramatically increased my battery time
[Captivate General] systoxity:
i thought set cpu was crashing captivates? how's it been going for you guys?
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
I've got it on mine and it hasn't crashed. I will note however, that if you go too low for the Max speed, this phone will come to a crawl. I had mine set at 400/200 for battery <20%, and it had trouble coming out of the lock screen. Did some tweaking but my batter is almost dead anyways, so I will have to comment on it tomorrow.

I'm debating if I want to get JuiceDefender or not. It's a good program, but the "turn off data" for 15 mins is what's getting me. I text and Google Talk alot, so I may just download the program and use it while I'm at work, then disable it when I get home.
[Captivate General] YeaItsSlo:
i thought this was a waste since the phone will go down to 100mhz on its own to conserve power?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
it will but when you are using it, it can climb up to 1000 wasting power. Nothing on the android should really require that much horsepower atm
[Captivate General] larryccf:
a simple approach i started using on an earlier smartphone, was a wallpaper that was predominantly black - considering the display is the predominant battery drain

i've been using this one, just enough going on to be visually intriguing but not take a lot of juice - whenever i look around for wallpapers, i keep coming back to this one - once i've seen a new wallpaper for a day or so, i've bored of it. Plus my flip clock widget, i set it with transparent background and transparent digit plates, to minimize the white display

i've posted the full size image in case anyone wants to copy

the other nice part, for me, the widgets are easy to discern
[Captivate General] Fortune090:
+1 to this post.

Very good approach to conserving power, since, according to the phone itself, the display usually takes up a high percentage of its battery life. This wallpaper is also really good, because not only is it predominantly black, but the main color is red, which drains the least amount of life of all colors.

Think I might try that once I get my brick working or trade it in for a new one...
[Captivate General] djgleebs:
So when i try and use SetCPU (which is supposedly the most effective power saver) I get around 500 mhz... That being said, I wasn't using the new 2.0.1 version. Is there support for Captivates in newer versions? I need help with this >.< My battery isn't lasting nearly long enough for me, and I really want to get close to 25 hours with heavy usage on my captivate (or close to) as Carlos suggested in his video.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] widjaja74_us:
Lets see if I understand this correctly....

on the samsung galaxy s GPS system, there are 2 options:

1)Use wireless networks: Set the device to use the

wireless networking to indicate your location

2)Use GPS satellites : Enable the GPS receiver to indicate your location

For now, we know that using the option 2 gives us crappy results (loosing signals, cannot lock sattelites, jumping around etc)

Now, for option 1: choosing option 1 means that launching the maps application should indicate where your location is currently by using some kind of triangulation method based on the availability of GSM signal, so it should even work when you are indoor or whenever there is a GSM signal......

But apparently on this phone, it only shows your initial location, then after that even if you have moved 1 km from your initial location, the location indicator arrow is stuck at your initial location, meaning that it doesnt track you and your movement, which means both options simply dont work on this phone....

On my wife's iphone, the GPS functionality works wonderfully even when i am inside a building and it keeps updating your location as you move continuosly.

It just shows you how careless and hasty samsung is in launching this product that even the simplest form of GPS functionality, one that is based on GSM triangulation method, also doesnt work..... and they still went ahead with the launch.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaggyDragon:
Absolutely no problems with GSM or GPS positioning now that I'm using I9000XWJG5. Locks on satellites within 22 seconds from switch on. Thats at 30m precision. After 10 seconds more gets to 5m precision.

This is from inside my building. (Using GPS Status to check)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcolooij:
Same here. Your wife's phone probably also uses the mobile network to keep location inside buildings, or wireless networks. Try enabling skyhook, that is all i did.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jofun:
used skyhook, and assited mode, accuracy set to 50, changed supl/cp settings, but compared to my g1 or hd2 or e61 or 10 year old bt/gps mouse the gps quality is just rubbish. (XXJF3)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
no problem even without skyhook, but using skyhook gets locking much faster

i'm comparing it to my old HTC Athena, which takes sometimes over 5min to lock to 1 satellite in the great white open sky.... sigh...

sometimes it wont even lock if the weather is poor, takes like 30min or more to lock, under those conditions.

simply insane.

so SGS i9000 is like a dream to use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jofun:
g1 / hd2 / e61 only take seconds to get a full lock with accuracy about 3m. in my opinion skyhook and gps plus are needless if you have a working cb a-gps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
From my experience its the rom. As my gps worked fine with default FE3 (optus au) rom even indoors but when i flashed G5 (latest euro) i could only lock onto one sat outdoors even with skyhooks setting. Then i installed Samset 1.2 update.zip the gps works again, thats just my 2cents
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unimaginative:
For the record I haven't had any issues with GPS other than it being fair slower than my Milestone.

Didn't you sell your Galaxy S anyway?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammorris:
Hey mate, I think I've seen you around the WP forums. :)

Quick question for you - I have a Milestone and am currently contemplating throwing it on eBay and grabbing the Galaxy S. Is there anything you miss from the Milestone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterlan:
The same here. The problems start when I go out and start to drive around in my car. My GPS is absolutely useless when you move around outdoors, but locks in a few seconds indoors.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navmanyeah:
Let me see if I understand this correctly. You have sold your SGS and you are still coming back here to crap on about the GPS and other small things which are only occurring on some people's phones and not others?

For the record, everything on my phone has been running silky smooth since day one. Lag only occurs with too many apps open and this is to be expected from an operating system that can multitask.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] widjaja74_us:
I sold my phone at a profit because currently i cannot afford to have unreliable phone in doing my job... then i searched for something better and can't find any.... so i'm still following the forum to see of all the problems i experience have been fixed .... if thats the case, i might buy another one....

and for the record, i didnt crap about the GPS, i'm just investigating it deeper, becase GPS is important for me...

Thats crap for you

[Vibrant General] YellowGTO:
I really think the forums should be the same for both phone, they are the same and it sucks switching back and forth on teh XDA app.
[Vibrant General] ranova:
I think we should combine ALL the galaxy S variation forums. Its really annoying to jump between each one
[Vibrant General] chastbi:
I agree. When Samsung first announced these phones xda had a big discussion over in the original Galaxy S threads about how to handle this. I was very disappointed when they decided to create separate forums for all of them.
[Vibrant General] neema:
I agree that they should be combined at a top level, and then split by device.
[Vibrant General] AndroidZ28:
The strange thing is that there was a poll about how we wanted it handled, and we overwhelmingly all agreed to have them combined, but they chose to separate them.
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
Democracy will always prevail!
[Vibrant General] DAKIDD236:
+1 for combining Captivate and Vibrant. They are both GSM devices and have the same hardware and software.
[Vibrant General] blueman9:
+1 here as well.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
+1 also .
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
And here I thought the poll would've been enough to combine 'em
[Vibrant General] mesajoejoe:
Unfortunately only way to make them change it right this second is to stop using xda in masses till they do it. But that just wont happen. People just dont have it in them to actually follow through with something.

[Vibrant General] zzkamikazezz:
Hey,

Hoping I can get some help here. When I put compilation albums on my Vibrant and select album view in the player, the compilation albums are shown several times, each track shows as a separate album!

I've made sure in itunes they all have the same album name, I've even checked the 'part of a compilation box' in itunes under get info.

I'm copying the music onto the phone via doubletwist and when I look at the card it has put a separate folder for each artist on the album, so the phone things each folder is a separate album.

This is driving me mad!!! Its impossible to listen to compilation albums at the minute. Am I missing something obvious??

Thanks

Rob
[Vibrant General] orateam:
use tagscanner to edit the tracks, add pictures and make sure compilations are grouped.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r546:
I had some teething issues with the EVO keyboard at first, it was my first on-screen keyboard experience and not quite as painless as I was hoping for. This and other small things like not being able to easily dismiss the suggestion bar led me to try out other keyboards. After going through all of them, Smart Keyboard Pro, SwiftKey, Swype, HTC_IME mod, I still find myself returning to stock. Despite its occasional shortcomings, it continually feels the most responsive, least laggy, and provides the best prediction compared to everything else. Its layout and look and feel are also great and fit the phone well, something I value since it's easy to make Android look haphazard and HTC has done a good job of avoiding that and keeping the UI consistent. Other features like the arrow keys I've found to be invaluable and miss them greatly when they're not present front and center. Even Swype, after lots of trials and giving it plenty of time, did not really significantly improve things. I made less of one type of error, but just more of another type.

In the end, I'm back to stock, so I have to give HTC credit for delivering a nice looking and very well-refined keyboard. If I could just figure out how to EASILY dismiss the suggestion bar without adding a new word to the dictionary (just tapping where my cursor is doesn't really do it), I'd probably be completely satisfied.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loztboy:
Well coming from an Iphone I can definitely say the stock keyboard sucks. I've been using swype and have been very pleased so far. I believe the more you use it the better it gets at predicting your text. To me its much faster and less finger cramping to just swipe one finger across the screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sporkman:
stocks fine for me but i have been using the Swiftkey beta i have to say im pretty impressed !
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
I either Swype it or just go with the stock input. I don't find it to be as bad as some make it out to be.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sporkman:
where can i get swype newest release ??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrazr7791:
Usually just switch between Stock and the Droid-X keyboard. Tried Swype and couldn't get the "feel" for it. Luckily it was free :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cath0dez:
Swype

I avoided Swype for awhile, thinking that I could never get accoustomed to typing with it. So I tried the MotoX multi-touch keyboard, stock android keyboard, and a few others, but kept returning to stock Sense. It was the easiest and most accurate standard keyboard.

After changing to Swype, the search is over. Not sure if I have the newest version, but I can attest that the (1.56.30.7625) works perfectly across a bunch of roms. This is really the only way to go on a mobile device.

I wish I could tell you were I got the .apk of this version (its not the *t100), but I cant find it for the life of me. Try searching Swype in the Apps & Themes forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siwelk:

I'm using the white skin on smart keyboard pro. The Droid X Multitouch keyboard is by far the BEST that i've used thus far, but alas, it's not working on Froyo yet. Once that's ported to Froyo I'll be on top of that one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayman86:
i switch between stock and swype. dont like swiftkey
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSack:
Swype is one of those technologies that in ten years we will look back and laugh at how stupid and primitive T9 prediction was in comparison. It is undeniably a "killer app" for smartphone input.

Using the input on my iPad feels like caveman trying to create fire in comparison to the sophistication of Swype on my Android phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksaem05:
Swype is the way to go...

I first tried Swype on my Touch Pro's with Energy rom and i could not help but be delighted with the typing experience. Swype on my Evo was a must. Since the size on the screen allows for a very accurate path, and the predictive capabilities are way above anything else that I tried.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Is Swype Available?

I've looked for Swype, and all I can find is a beta that is no longer available. Can someone point me in the right direction?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
I've tried Swype and the Droid X keyboard and I prefer the stock one. I think the Droid one has better responsiveness, but the HTC one has way better prediction and I like being able to longpress keys for numbers and symbols.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevyli85:
How does swype work so well for you guys. I feel like it is so slow because you can only use one finger at a time. On the stock keyboard I can use both thumbs so its so much faster
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjz147:
I have been on the same boat as you. I used to have an iPhone and can honestly say that the iPhone KB is the best on screen KB to date.

I have tried every alternative: smart KB pro, Swype, Stock, Droid X keyboard, AOSP android KB, they all had problems.

Swype was really cool, but I prefer two hand typing, and coudn't use swype, but I can easily see how others like it.

Stock HTC: yes it looks nicer than the plain blakc one on android but HTC did a very poor job, The KB is wayyyyy to high, and all the keys are touching each other. Instead of wider keys that take up less screen height. Plus its not as responsive.

Stock AOSP: black and ugly

Droid X: Very nice, great feel, fast, and has an option to hide corrections.

I have found the BEST KB IMO

better keyboard plus "Ultra KB Hero theme" it is a hero skin that looks almost identical to the Stock KB, and is muchh faster than stock. Plus the auto correction is great and lets you add custom words. And no arrows on the bottom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
I find it's just almost an ease of use. I don't mind using the stock, and sometimes I just go back for no reason. But swype just seems efficient ... in the beginning I wasn't really enjoying it, didn't think it was that big of a deal. But a couple days of use and it just started making sense. You get the occasional word that isn't anywhere near what you were trying to type, but I think that happens more often than not because you're getting your swype on and just moving so fast you overshoot or what have you.

But I still feel like I can pump out a fast enough message on the stock, which some people don't seem to feel the same way. Both work more than fine for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dallashigh:
Swype is great if you like dragging one finger all over the screen. Personally I think that's inefficient and makes you look like a dumbass to people around you, but to each their own.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i ordered a 2 Amp charger from another source, i already have a generic phone holder that works for all phones and PDA

no, anything less than 1 Amp will not charge your phone, if you keep the screen ON, and using GPS + using Bluetooth

1 Amp will keep your battery from falling down drastically, but it is still not enough to charge the battery meanwhile all the features are ON

2 Amp is only enough to keep all those features running, and charger the battery.

that comes from experience using the HTC Athena, which is just as much of a power hog as the SGS i9000
